SCORPIONS, one of the most iconic and influential hard rock bands of all time, will return to North America on the “Rock Believer” world tour with special guests WHITESNAKE on the David Coverdale-fronted outfit’s farewell tour.
Fresh off of their sold-out “Sin City Nights” Las Vegas residency, SCORPIONS will kick off a two-month-long Live Nation-produced run of dates on August 14 in Toronto with additional concerts in Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, and Denver, among others. In addition to WHITESNAKE, Swedish band THUNDERMOTHER will be joining the tour.

SCORPIONS frontman Klaus Meine said: “After the amazing start we’ve had with our residency in Las Vegas, it’s about time to come back for a real tour to rock the U.S. like a hurricane again. We can’t wait to see all you rock believers out there!”
Coverdale added: “Once again it’s time to feel the sting of the SCORPIONS and the bite of the WHITESNAKE!!! Can’t Wait!!!”
